    I don’t think you’re a shill. There a plenty of normal people on Reddit, enjoying the content like before. While I despise Spez, I can’t discount that they have created a product that people want to use.

    But there are also plenty of people who, like me, saw a decline in the average quality of content over the last x number of years. A move to the lowest common denominator. Comments like your example were more frequent years ago relative to today.

    Lemmy feels like Reddit when I joined 11-ish years ago. That’s why I’m here now.

    Edit: for what it’s worth, I also didn’t go to the default subs. I spent a long time curating to my tastes and hobbies, to the point where I even blocked /r/All from Apollo so I didn’t have to see the day-to-day shit. But it didn’t help. My hobbies deteriorated into memes and low-effort shit every day.

        Then why do you accuse me of faking things when I tell you what I experienced?

        I didn’t. You posted a comment and I didn’t say it was fake?

        /r/europe and /r/de were the only places worse than Lemmy.

        Then why are you here?

        Both from gaming subs that tend to have a healthy mix between meme and non-meme stuff

        Sounds like a difference of opinion

            That’s called a question. Wasn’t an attack. You’re the one who went looking for an argument.

            To date, you’re the only toxic user I’ve found on Lemmy, so well done.

            Beat you to it, see ya.
